Setting up hostapd for our patches

  • The openWRT project is located at: https://git.openwrt.org/openwrt/openwrt.git
  • The hostapd project is located at: http://w1.fi/hostap.git
  • This version of hostap needs to be first patched by the OpenWRT project, then patches by us.
  • The OpenWRT patches are located in: openwrt/package/network/services/hostapd/patches
  • Clone openWRT into a directory. Also clone hostapd into another directory
  • Copy the OpenWRT hostapd patches into a directory “hostap-patches” just above the hostap directory.
  • cd to the hostap project directory
  • Apply all the patches to how new hostap tree:
    find ../hostap-patches/ -maxdepth 1 -type f -name “[0-9][0-9][0-9]*.patch” | sort | xargs -n1 patch -p1
